Jim, Inger and the girls!: March 2010
http://jikmabinns.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Jim, Inger and the girls! Tuesday, March 23, 2010. What I've been up to. With Jim gone, I've done nothing but get weirder. I know that isn't shocking to any of you, but with my mind a little more free to wander, and not having to worry about Jim's ridicule, (it's okay, he gets just as much ridicule from me) this is what I've been into lately. I've read this amazing book, and I believe every word of it. I've been doing alot of this. Oh how fun it is! Less than 24 hours later, I had a pair.

Jim, Inger and the girls!: February 2011

Jim, Inger and the girls! Tuesday, February 1, 2011. Testing the waters again. It's been awhile, let's see if I remember how to do this. We are the not so proud owners of the most ridiculous dog on the planet. I have been wanting a dog forever, so I went ahead and just got one. Jim didn't talk to me for 3 days. I was really hoping it would be worth it. sometimes it is. Here's the pro's and con's list for Penny Pocket. We call her that because of our familiarity with Polly Pockets. She barks at the door.

Monday, May 24, 2010. HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY DANIEL! On April 7th, Daniel turned 30 years old! I threw him a birthday party with all of our family and some friends. We had a Bunco themed birthday party. Because half of the attendants where part of the Vrtiska clan, the party was L-O-U-D! It was soooo much fun. Everyone but Mike and Emily came from Daniel's side (Mike got sick) and everyone who lives in the area from my side came, including Stephanie and Daniel who drove up from Corvallis! Kayleen won $40 fo...

{the LONG life}: Happy Easter!
http://monicavrtiska.blogspot.com/2011/05/happy-easter.html
Monday, May 9, 2011. Just shy of four months old, Olivia celebrated her first Easter at the Jackson School Easter Egg Hunt. Well technically she spent her first Easter at church, but we're talking about the secular part of Easter. She wasn't scared of the huge bunny in the slightest. Apparently she has never seen Donnie Darko. freaky bunny! It was a beautiful day for an easter egg hunt and the sun was in her eyes, but she sure does look cute! Posted by Daniel and Monica Long. I love you and miss you too.

{the LONG life}: 9 Months and 34 Hour Labor
http://monicavrtiska.blogspot.com/2010/12/9-months-and-34-hour-labor.html
Tuesday, December 21, 2010. 9 Months and 34 Hour Labor. Where do I begin? Anyway, I was taken to our room where I was poked like a pin cushion! I cannot believe how painful those IV attempts were. When I found out they had to use an 18 gauge needle, I knew this would be painful. I know how big and how hard those 18 gauges can be to get and I was not excited. The first nurse who attempted was HORRIBLE! I continued to contract and eventually was talked into taking some Fentanyl IV. Why was I resisting?

Wednesday, June 1, 2011. What can I say, Olivia is an eating girl! Recently, Olivia discovered food. real food. Food that she doesn't have to work for. She really likes that. After weeks of wrestling her, I think she is back to actually enjoying nursing, but we can only cross our fingers. Here she is eating her baby food, with very good manners might I add. Sealed bag. So far so good. Thus far on the menu: Bananas, Pears, Carrots, Sweet Potatoes, and Squash. She likes them all, but no matter what you...

Monday, September 6, 2010. I haven't been the greatest with the blogging as of late. It's sad actually. I did take a four month picture, but never posted it. If my laptop ever starts working, I'll post that at some point. So as you can see, I'm 5 months pregnant. Technically, I'm 5 1/2 months today, but who's counting? A few weeks ago, Daniel and I discovered we are having a GIRL! She's a wiggle worm for sure! Cannot wait to meet these little monkey! Posted by Daniel and Monica Long. Welcome to Our Life.

Monday, June 14, 2010. Escape From Reality: Sisters Retreat! Because all eight of us were in the same city, we decided to make a night of it and stay at a hotel. We stayed at the Marriott. This picture is actually at the end of the night. We stayed up WAY too late playing games. We played BS, where Michele's infamous line is now often quoted when she announced rather matter of factly that she had two elevens! HAHA, clearly she didn't have any jacks! Such a good time! This was a night to remember! I know,...
